Rochester Waterfront

The Port of Rochester Marina opened in the spring of 2016, converting acres of underutilized, impervious asphalt parking and ferry loading areas into an active public waterfront with a new park, public promenade, and a 158-slip marina serving both seasonal and transient boaters. Edgewater created an entirely new basin for Rochester, renovated an existing boat launch, and designed a marina that accommodated record-high water levels by design.

Excavation of the marina basin removed 98,000 cubic yards of regulated fill, and incorporated energy reduction and LEED-inspired solutions including the use of previous paving, bio-infiltration, sustainable ebony wood decking materials on the docks, and installed individual electrical metering to boat slips for more boater conscious energy use.
